I came across this thread today and thought of you.
For the lazy:
Just a thought for you if you are still having issuesWhen I worked at TurboXS we came across some UTECs that had a bad MAF circuit and there was raw fuel pouring out the tail pipe and it could not hydro lock. I also had a recent experience where a fuel pressure regulator diaphragm cracked (car had a Hydra) and fuel was getting sucked directly into cylinder #3 through a 4mm vacuum line at 44 psi of fuel pressure and the engine didn't hydro lock and fuel was coming out the tail pipe and of course the plug was fouling out. Just in this short period, seconds of running, you could see the oil level on the dipstick change.
